I\\\'m just snowballing here but maybe we should consider reworking this trope; specifically changing the role of \\\"The Chick\\\" to \\\"The Heart\\\". I know that traditionally the chick is supposed to be the glue/conscious/heart of their respective teams but these days that role is just as likely to be played by a male character (IE-Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy, Bumblebee in Transformers Prime) while female characters are just as likely to play the Lancer, Leader, or even the muscle of their group. In other words, maybe it\\\'s time to modernize the concept of \\\"the chick\\\" into something a little less gender specific and limiting.
